The best friends fight over Helen-Ryan's relationship in Sweet Magnolias Season 3. Helen got her heart broken again in the finale
One of the saddest storylines in Sweet Magnolias was the big fight Maddie and Dana have with Helen. Maddie and Dana tried to confront Helen about Ryan, who clearly isn't the right choice for her. Helen feels they are being judgemental, and she leaves town for a while.
They reconciled after a couple of episodes, but Season 3 ended with Helen having her heart broken by Ryan again. After realizing they want different things in life, Ryan left Serenity, saying he couldn't think of a future in the town.
Meanwhile, Erik, getting to know about Helen's breakup, thought of approaching her but stopped short on finding romance elsewhere. However, it is clear he still has feelings for Helen, and the two could finally start a relationship in Season 4.
Who is Kathy? What does she want from Dana and Ronnie in Sweet Magnolias Season 3?
The mystery behind Kathy was resolved when it was revealed that she is Ronnie's sister who holds a grudge against Dana and her brother, because she believes that she deserves to have the restaurant, Sullivan's, but it was instead given to Dana.
Kathy was an agent of chaos throughout Sweet Magnolias Season 3, trying to sabotage Dana's catering business, poach her employee Erik, and also start a romance with Maddie's ex-husband, Bill.
After Erik resigned with Kathy and returns to Dana, she was infuriated and tried to get him back. In the Season 3 finale, Ronnie wrote her big cheque, hoping she would leave the couple alone.
While this did make her year-long anger subside, she made a sweet gesture and gifted Dana their family's vintage tea set at the latter's vow renewal ceremony with Ronnie. She finally left town for good with Bill.

After working on their marriage throughout Season 3 with the help of counseling, Dana and Ronnie finally decided to take their relationship to the next level and held a vow renewal ceremony.

Things worked out for the couple as Maddie and Helen help bring the whole town together for the celebration. They contacted local vendors for decoration, their neighbors brought various food items, and Erik returned with a cake tower for the couple.
Everything went well, the couple renewed their vows, and the ceremony became a big celebration for the whole community in the last season.
